Team India's young opener Abhishek Sharma shook England with a surprise century in the last T20 match against England. Abhishek helped Team India a big win on the basis of 135 runs played at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium. This innings of Abhishek will be remembered for many years to come. Seeing the way Abhishek rained sixes in this innings, former England captain Ailester Cook flew away and even said that Abhishek hit more than his career in 2 hours.

In this match played at the Wankhede Stadium on the evening of Sunday 2 February, Team India defeated England by a big margin of 150 runs. The star of this victory was Abhishek Sharma, who scored a memorable century in just 37 balls and scored an explosive innings of 135 runs in 54 balls. Apart from this, Abhishek also showed amazing bowling and contributed to the pile of England for just 97 runs with 2 wickets. However, he looted his batting.

Alester cook's senses

Abhishek, who made her debut in Team India about 7-8 months ago, attacked the bowlers in such a way that former England captain Ailester Cook was surprised. Cook was also not sure on his eyes after seeing Abhishek six as Abhishek was hitting sixes. The Indian batsman hit 13 sixes in his innings of 135 runs in 54 balls. Seeing Abhishek's such batting, Cook said during a discussion in a show, "All the sixes have been hit by Abhishek in the last 2 hours, I did not kill so much in my whole life."

No six in T20 career

Apparently, Cook said this in a funny manner and a little exaggerated but he had power in his talk. Talking about Cook's international career, he did not hit a single six in the career of 4 T20 International matches. At the same time, in 161 Tests, 11 and 92 ODIs he scored only 10 sixes. At the same time, Abhishek scored 13 sixes in this innings only and 22 sixes in this entire series. Abhishek scored the highest 279 runs in 5 innings in this series at an average of 44. His strike rate was 219.68 and he scored a century as well as a half -century. Apart from 22 sixes, he also hit 24 fours.
